Bright Eyes - Going for the Gold слова песни
There`s a voice on the phone telling what had happenedsome kind of confusionmore like a disasterand it wondered how you were left unaffectedbut you had no knowledgeno the chemicals covered youand so a jury was formed as more liquor was pouredno need for convictionthey`re not thirsting for justicebutI slept with the lies I keep inside my headI found out I was guiltyI found out I was guiltybut I won`t be around for the sentencingcause I`m leavingon the next airplaneand though I know that my actions are impossible to justifythey seem adequite to fill up my time and if I could talk to myself like I was someone elsethen maybe I could take your adviceand I wouldn`t act like such an asshole all the timethere`s a film on the wall makes the people look smallwho are sitting beside it all consumed in the dramathey must return to their livesonce the hero has diedthey will drive to the officestopping somewhere for coffeewhere the folk singers, poets, and playwrites convenedispinsing their wisdomoh dear amateur oratorthey will detail their pain in some standard refrainthey will recite their sadnesslike it`s some kind of contestwell if it isI think I am winning itall beaming with confidenceas I make my final lapthe gold medal gleamsso hang it around my neckcause I am deserving itthe champion of idiotsbut a kid carries his Walkman on that long bus ride to omahaI know a girl who cries when she practices violincause each note sounds so pureit just cuts into herand then the melody comes pouring out her eyesnow to me everything else it just sounds like a lie.
